A full powering calculation cannot always be done during the early stages of a design, and these curves are valuable then. They should not be relied upon, especially as rough seas, a badly aligned shaft, a fouled hull or one floating below her designed waterline are just some of the things which will reduce a vessel's speed. ‘An example of how the graphs are used Is snown by looking at 2 boat 21.3 m (70 ft) long. This length is shown botiom left, at point A. The vertical line from there is followed up to the reauired speed. which in this case is 12 knots, seen at point B. The horizontal dotted line |s followed to the right till t crosses the correct displacement curve, which in the example Is 50 tons, at point C. From there a vertical line downwards is drawn to give the required hp at D. This is 325, hp when the block coefficient is 0.36 and 380 hp when the block coefficient is 0.4, If the block coefficient is 0.44 then 370 hp Is required. Because these graphs are approximate, a safety factor must always be added.People on board oe her speed in knots =e eee ll OUTBOARD ENGINES - FOR INFLATABLE BOATS ‘The speedto he expected from an inflatable boat depends on the hp (horsepower) of the engine, the number of people and the amount of luggage to be carried, and ‘the weather conditions ete. This graph shows typical speeds against loading for Inflatable craft between 2.7 m (9 ft) and 5 m (16 ft 6 In) ‘To get the best speed the inflatable must be pumped up hard and the outboard engine has to be in firstclass condition, using the correct fuel and the right propeller. o o es @ 16 12 14 16 16 fo 22 14 % 26 30COPELLER WEIGI The weight of a propeller varies according to the type and make. Feathering propellers tend to be heavier than fixed ones because the mechanism and! its housing forming the boss are bulkier than the equivalent fixed boss. These graphs give useful approximations for propellers up to 40 in (about 1 m) in diameter. Imperial measurements are on the left and along the bottom, metric up the right side and across the top. If precise figures are required, the makers should be consulted, and the propeller weights reconfirmed when they are delivered, Diameter in em e163 76 09 n0}—"F ® Weight in pounds 8 15 20 25 30 Diameter in inches 35@ POWER/SPEED RATIOS he nomogsach (right). based woe by Boer & Wi eves a rough Dut usetul ! itary guide to the power seeded (or 8 given Speed, vor a range oferan fon 5 mito 40 m (45 ft to A30t) By SPEEO Wm KHOTS ae Lean ‘Tha start fa rem tine *, wan fs the lnadwaterline, an fe an example, 18 1m (80-70) has seen seloeted, A ling Is dru trough the cleclecemant scale (2). where the example displsces 16 tons, end ‘xtended to tne baseline 2 The right (3). 4 new ling runs sftyards fm the right hard saswling and Uomgh os sgumated tz therseower) (4), at 200 np, to the lete-nana sseline (51. “Form this point = new straight line Is diawer te the appropriate nue form grant 16) were the example ss round bilge hull forms wir a bsam/draft ratio of A, The ‘speed Is read off on the scale (7) angiin the examplo is 13.6 nots. ts speed s Inadequate, then the i the letthand one 18!
